A systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted to explore how parents perceive sleep quality in their infants aged 0–24 months and the factors that influence these perceptions. A systematic search of the databases Scopus, Embase, Cinahl, PsycInfo and MEDLINE, was undertaken to identify eligible peer-reviewed studies published between 2006–2021. Ten papers met inclusion criteria and were subsequently included in the review. Evaluation of papers with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist classified papers as weak, moderate or strong, with half considered strong. Thematic synthesis identified one superordinate theme, culture, and five interrelated subordinate themes regarding how parents perceive their infant's sleep and the factors that may influence these perceptions. These themes were: (1) Infants physical and emotional comfort; (2) Beliefs regarding safety; (3) Parental and familial wellbeing; (4) Perceived degree of infant agency; (5) Influence of external beliefs and opinions. The findings from this review may assist practitioners in providing parents with personalized and culturally sensitive information regarding infant sleep and may also inform antenatal and early intervention practices, subsequently minimizing parental distress regarding infant sleep patterns.

父母对婴儿睡眠行为和实践质量的看法：一项定性系统评价

对定性研究进行了系统回顾，以探讨父母如何看待 0-24 个月婴儿的睡眠质量以及影响这些看法的因素。对 Scopus、Embase、Cinahl、PsycInfo 和 MEDLINE 数据库进行了系统搜索，以确定 2006 年至 2021 年间发表的符合条件的同行评审研究。十篇论文符合纳入标准，随后被纳入审查。使用 Critical Appraisal Skills Program 定性检查表对论文的评估​​将论文分为弱、中或强，其中一半被认为是强。主题综合确定了一个高级主题、文化和五个相互关联的从属主题，这些主题涉及父母如何看待婴儿的睡眠以及可能影响这些感知的因素。这些主题是：(1) 婴幼儿身心舒适；(2) 安全信念；(3) 父母和家庭幸福；(4) 婴儿能动性感知程度；(5) 外部信念和意见的影响。本次审查的结果可能有助于从业者为父母提供有关婴儿睡眠的个性化和文化敏感信息，也可能为产前和早期干预实践提供信息，从而最大限度地减少父母对婴儿睡眠模式的痛苦。
